I know so many people in the community are feeling the sadness of John Kane’s passing. A public memorial service for the popular owner of Kane’s Restaurant will be held on Saturday, August 3rd from 11am to 2pm at the Grass Valley Veterans Memorial Building in Grass Valley. John was a renowned chef, business owner, philanthropist and community leader. In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made in John’s name to DVSAC, the Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalition or to United Way of Nevada County.
